Why doesn’t anyone pay Kelly for the stuff they take from her store? Manny just asks for it and Kelly just hands it out.And for that matter, why doesn’t ANYBODY pay for anything? I mean I’ve never seen Mrs. Portillo pay for the repairs Manny makes.
Why isn’t there a husband to Manny’s sister and a father to her child?In fact why aren’t there any partners at all for Abuelito, Kelly, Manny, Manny’s Sister or the Chinese or Indian families? There’s always just one parent with a kid??
Why don’t strangers freak out when tools talk to them?
How in the hell does Manny know how to fix everything from a stove, to a fire truck light bar to an elevator? I mean seriously do you WANT him fixing the elevator – something that can plummet to the earth from several stories up?
Where does Manny live, in the back of his shop?
Where does everyone pay the bills? I’ve never seen anything but the Mayor’s office.
Do the tools co-sleep in Manny’s bed?
Has anyone ever noticed just how much of an asshat Mr. Lopart is? He's always rude to Manny yet Manny fixes his screw ups all the frickin' time!
The Tools love eating but where the hell do they poop from?
Does anybody ever get laid in Sheetrock hills?
Does Kelly ever grab Manny behind the paint shelves and ask him if he wants to “hit this?”
Yes I've lost my mind with singleparenthood............

It is best if you don't watch the shows with your children. Trust me on this. I am forever signing "who lives in a pineapple under the sea............" But that is a big issue that all they do is steal on that show. SERIOUSLY.
I happened on your blog when I was searching on the internet to see if anyone knows if Kelly is married or not. I have wondered many of the same things as you have about the show but the one that my husband and I have been debating is Kelly's status - single, married, divorced? The chemistry b/n Manny and Kelly can get old after a while and we wonder why they just don't hook up? My 3 year old even noticed that Kelly seems like she really likes Manny a lot and I have to agree and then tell them that they are just really good friends. Maybe you can answer the question to our debate so we can stop the insanity about a cartoon!

Does anybody ever get laid in Sheetrock hills?
They all get screwed, of course.
BTW: There was an episode when someone shop (Lopart?) flooded. I never saw money exchanged, but I'm pretty sure the concept was mentioned.
LOL on the screw comment.
Aaron I just re-watched "Mr Lopart Moves In" and there's no mention of money. It was whether or not Mr. Lopart was "ready" to move back to his own place. Yeah we have it on DVR and I am avoiding work I need to do.
Erika I have no clue about Kelly other than I noticed that her brother is around but there are no parents around. Thanks for commenting though! Oh and congrats on your recent graduation.
I hhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaate Handy Manny.
He pays her sexual favors. You know they're totally doing it
This blog entry is hysterical. YOu said out loud what many moms of young children are thinking...hee hee. It made me laugh out loud. I found your blog from someone else's blog. Thanks! Have a great day!
In the episode where the movie theater needs new light bulbs Manny tells one of the tools to take the box of light bulbs outside while he pays Kelly for them. They don't show it though. Maybe Manny "pays her" in other ways!
Man we deleted the one with that episode Heather! BUT I did just see one where Kelly's brother minds the store and Manny asks how much his wall hanger will cost. Kelly's brother says 5K and then corrects himself to $5.00 after Manny nearly pees himself!
I sooo know what you are talking about! Have you seen the "Kelly's Hardware Store" video that plays between shows? It's like a love song to Kelly from Mandy! Best line ever from the show is from Pat, the Hammer:
"I Love to nail things! I'm a hammer!"
This is hilarious! I stumbled upon this trying to figure-out where Sheetrock Hill actually is. Puerto Rico? Somewhere in California?
These are some questions my husband and I have:
Is Manny bald under that hat? He never takes it off. If he and Kelly DO get it on, does he take his hat, gloves and tool-belt off?
How do the tools' eyebrows stay put?
Do they have a quota as to how many times a wheelchair has to roll through the background at the end of a show?
Mr. Lopart is kind of a jerk, but I think he's just too proud to ask for help. Do you think maybe he's ornery because he's an aging gay man in a small town with nothing but a cat that is always trying to escape?
I LOL'd at your post. I found it through google when I looked up "does manny have a thing for kelly". It was the first result.
A year later and perhaps I'm a new batch of Handy Manny parent. I was googling "does Handy Manny have parents?". He has the sister and grandpa and in the Motorcycle Adventure episode we meet aunts and uncles but still no parents.
I always wondered about the obligatory wheelchair person.
And I am sure there's something going on with Manny and Kelly, but having a dad in the electrical business, I also always assumed he just had an account at her shop. And he just billed his customers.
Rationalizing children's tv shows: is this really what being a parent is all about? ;)
LOL, came upon your blog when googling to find out if Manny lives in the store (or in possibly in the basement as my husband thinks.) Love this post and am glad to know other parents wonder the same things we do!! THanks for the laugh!
I laughed so hard.... I thought I was the only on who thought crazy, obsessive thoughts about Handy Manny. I was thinking more along the lines of him being a socialist... lets all help each other and not pay for anything etc...
I also wonder why Rusty always says "She always has what we need" in reference to Kelly... but always is rolling his eyes and sounding sarcastic and upset... does HE know more to the story? I think we could go on and on about that show lol
I think the show potrays mr. Lopart as the stereotypical white guy in a non-white society. He thinks he know everything, thinks he's better, and has a cat that wears a sweater in the fall... Lol JS
I've been thinking some of the same things, although my biggest thing are the tools. Why are Manny's tools the only tools that talk? It bugs me so much. Is there some sort of magic involved?
We watched the one episode where Pat thinks the hammer on the cover of a catalog is a family member, and all I could think about was: "Wouldn't Manny know all about their families?"
I have more questions about Handy Manny than when I watched Inception.
